Our community is amazing!

Recently, our local Girls on the Run nonprofit group reached out to our children's librarian to share this year's theme, "Bold Heart." As part of their program, the girls were encouraged to identify a community organization or group where they could showcase their talents while demonstrating how small acts of kindness can make a big difference through appreciation, gratitude, empathy, and encouragement.

We were delighted to learn that they chose the library!

Working together, the girls created beautiful, one-of-a-kind bookmarks featuring inspirational and uplifting messages and quotes. These special bookmarks accompany a display at the library and are available free of charge to all visitors.

Be sure to stop in and pick up a special bookmark to take home with your next batch of library checkouts and learn more about Girls on the Run!

🥁 Drum roll, please! 🥁

Let's welcome one of our Kid Librarians for the month of June! We are so excited to feature Harper and her love for unicorns, mermaids, and kindness this month.

Harper is five years old, and her favorite saying is, "Everyone in the world is connected by invisible strings," from one of her favorite books, The Invisible String.

When asked about her favorite thing about Minocqua Public Library, Harper had an easy answer: the BOOKS!! 📚

We are so lucky to enjoy Harper's beautiful library display all month long. Stop by the library to check it out for yourself! Congratulations, Harper!

Earlier this week, we were honored to learn that Minocqua Public Library had been recognized as a 2026 Shining Star Non-Profit of the Year nominee. Then last night, we were thrilled to be announced as the award winner! ✨

All of us at the library are humbled by this recognition as we continue striving to support the community that so generously supports us. Today, we truly feel that support in return, and we are even more encouraged to continue doing what we are called to do: provide resources, offer support, and foster a strong sense of community throughout the Northwoods.

Thank you for this special recognition. It means so much to all of us!
